Google has announced a new feature that will allow Android users to automatically archive infrequently used apps. The feature is designed to help users free up space on their devices and improve overall performance.
According to Google, the feature uses a machine learning algorithm to identify apps that haven’t been used in a while and automatically moves them to a separate folder called “rarely used apps”. The apps will still be installed on the device, but they won’t be visible on the home screen or app drawer.
Users can easily access the archived apps by searching for them in the app drawer or by going to the “rarely used apps” folder. If they want to use the app again, they can simply tap on it and it will be restored to the home screen.
The new feature is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to improve the user experience on Android devices and make them more efficient and user-friendly. It also reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability and reducing electronic waste, as it encourages users to use their devices for longer periods of time rather than constantly upgrading to new models.
The feature has been welcomed by Android users, who have long complained about the limited storage space on their devices and the need to manually delete apps to free up space. With the new feature, users can easily manage their app usage and keep their devices running smoothly without having to constantly monitor and delete apps.
The automatic app archiving feature is available on all devices running Android 9 or later, and users can enable it in the settings menu under “Apps and notifications”.
